The new Serie A season starts on Saturday, and it is increasingly certain that the Montenegrin forward Nikola Krstović will continue to wear the jersey of Leće, even though he was the wish of several clubs, especially Genoa.

As "Gazeta delo Sport" announced, the coach of "griffins" and former great striker Alberto Đilardino saw the ideal point guard for the new season in Krstović, after Mateo Retegi left for Atalanta, and Albert Gudmundson is getting closer to Fiorentina.

However, practically before the negotiations even started, Leće received a "no" and a message that they did not even want to discuss offers of less than 13 million euros. Apparently, the club from the south of Italy values ​​our footballer at around 15 million.

Because of everything, Genoa has already turned to other attacking options, so they will now try to bring the Portuguese Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton, while the remaining options are Giovani Simeone and Arkadiusz Milik.

Krstović will obviously lead Leće's attack in the new season, and his first challenge awaits him next Monday when the winner of the Europa League, Atalanta, arrives at "Via del Mare".
